Lyrics in English:
I went out quietly,
can you turn off the light?
So you can see how Otava
looks down on me
jumps from the sky
gets his feet wet in the grass.
Look, said Otava
snaps his fingers,
turning around his
axis, around.
I just want to laugh
I just want to laugh
You like everything unrestrained,
like to swim out of the picture.
You ride a too small bicycle,
it makes you happy.
No - maybe - no - yes
maybe - yes - yes.
The night unfolds around us,
the poles are changing,
let's start
don't look back.
We’ll laugh, laugh, laugh
Now here is a longing
Keep the crows away,
you predict bad things.
I just want to laugh
*Otava is the old Finnish word for a part of Ursa Major
known as the Big Dipper. It means ‘salmon weir‘ and
relates to an ancient myth that the bear (ursus arctos)
was lowered to earth in a golden basket from Otava.

You've been my favorite musician since I bought Kuutarha on a whim through some record distributor in 2000-something. Love this.
